We used to go to Halil's a couple of times a month. We would take apples from the orchard of the house I was living in (for some reason they couldn't grow them northside) and Halil provided lunch for me, Mrs CB and the two young CB ettes - always refusing payment - it was quite embarrasing really. On one occasion he joined us and was obviously feeling "mellow"; he recounted how he had a very softspot for the RAF - apparently after the "nastiness" with Turkey he was imprisoned in Limassol, subsequently "sprung" by people/peoples unknown and flown north in an RAF heliocopitre. Sounds all a bit far-fetched to me but I suppose stranger things have happened. Perhaps some Pruners have more knowledge of this incident?CV
